4.1 Unpacking
- Carefully remove all packaging materials, including foam and tape.
- Inspect the appliance for any shipping damage. If damage is found, do not plug in the unit and contact customer support.
- Remove any protective film from the door and cabinet surfaces.
4.2 Placement
The wine cooler can be installed as a freestanding unit or under a counter.
- Place the unit on a flat, stable surface strong enough to support the appliance when fully loaded.
- Allow at least 2-4 inches (5-10 cm) of space at the back and sides for proper air circulation.
- Avoid placing the unit in direct sunlight or near heat sources (e.g., oven, radiator).
- Ensure the ambient temperature is within the recommended operating range for optimal performance.

4.3 Leveling the Appliance
It is important for the wine cooler to be level for proper operation and door alignment. The unit is equipped with adjustable leveling feet.
- Turn the leveling feet clockwise to raise the unit or counter-clockwise to lower it.
- Adjust until the appliance is level. Use a spirit level to verify.
4.4 Initial Power-On
- After placement and leveling, wait at least 2-4 hours before plugging the unit into a grounded electrical outlet. This allows the refrigerant to settle.
- Plug the power cord into a dedicated, grounded 115V/60Hz electrical outlet.
- The internal light and display will illuminate. The unit will begin cooling to the default temperature setting.
5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Temperature Control
The wine cooler features a touch control panel on the door for easy temperature adjustment.

6. Maintenance
6.1 Cleaning
Regular cleaning helps maintain the appearance and efficiency of your wine cooler.
- Exterior: Wipe the exterior surfaces with a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water. Dry thoroughly.
- Interior: Clean the interior with a solution of baking soda and water (2 tablespoons of baking soda to 1 quart of water). Rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly.
- Shelves: Remove shelves and wash them with mild soap and water. Dry completely before returning them to the unit.
- Door Gasket: Clean the door gasket regularly to ensure a proper seal.
- Do NOT use abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or sharp objects for cleaning.
6.2 Defrosting
The EUHOMY WC-145 wine cooler features a frost-free defrost system, which automatically prevents ice buildup. Manual defrosting is generally not required.
6.3 Power Saving Tips
- Avoid opening the door frequently or for extended periods.
- Ensure the door gasket is clean and sealing properly.
- Place the unit in a cool, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
- Keep the unit full, as a full cooler retains cold better than an empty one.
